Vice-Speaker noted that the president's impeachment is stipulated by the Constitution of Ukraine unlike its procedure. "We can talk a lot about it, but the only way out is creation of the temporary investigative commission and adoption of the law on temporary commissions of the Verkhovna Rada, which will allow launching investigation - in particular, if there is a need to initiate the impeachment proceedings," Syroid said.
